The tournament made the switch from red clay to blue hard courts in 2014 and this year’s field features five Top 25 players, led by World No. 8 and reigning champion David Ferrer. The Spaniard’s title points from Rio last year dropped off. The others include: No. 6 Kei Nishikori, No. 12 Marin Cilic, No. 15 Dominic Thiem and No. 21 Bernard Tomic. Rounding out the seeds are: Ivo Karlovic, Jeremy Chardy and Steve Johnson. Ferrer is eyeing a fifth Acapulco title after earning a three-peat from 2010-'12. The other former winner in the field is Grigor Dimitrov (2014). DAY 1 PREVIEW: There are six singles matches scheduled on Monday: Mexican wild card Tigre Hank vs. Adrian Mannarino of France, Japanese / No. 2 seed Kei Nishikori vs. Dutch qualifier Thiemo de Bakker, Mexican wild card Lucas Gomez vs. Victor Estrella Burgos, Mexican wild card Luis Patino vs. Dutchman Robin Haase, American Donald Young vs. Gilles Muller of Luxembourg and Ukrainian Illya Marchenko vs. American qualifier Tommy Paul. REIGNING CHAMP: Ferrer is making his 10th tournament appearance (29-5) and he is a four-time champion (2010-11-12, ’15). The 33-year-old Spaniard has won three or more titles at four tournaments in his career, including Acapulco three straight years from 2010-12. Here are Ferrer’s three-or-more titles: Acapulco (4) – 2015, ‘12, ’11, ’10 Auckland (4) – 2013, ‘12, ’11, ’07 Valencia (3) – 2012, ’10, ’08 - Buenos Aires (3) – 2014, ‘13, ’12 KEI ON A ROLL: No. 2 seed Kei Nishikori comes into Acapulco after winning his fourth straight title in Memphis last Sunday (d. Fritz). The 26-year-old Japanese star is making his third appearance in Acapulco, having reached the second round in his 2012 debut and final last year (l. to Ferrer). Nishikori has a 9-2 match record on the season and last month he reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane (l. to Tomic) and at the Australian Open (l. to Djokovic). IVO EYSE 300: No. 6 seed Ivo Karlovic, who is the oldest player in the singles draw at 36 (turns 37 next Sunday), is one win away from 300 in his career. Karlovic has reached the quarter-finals here the last two years. The big-serving Croat has been slowed by a right knee injury and he’s looking for his first match win (0-3) of the season. LATE BLOOMER: The oldest winner on the ATP World Tour this season is 35-year-old Victor Estrella Burgos, who repeated his title in Quito (d. Bellucci) two weeks ago. The Dominican Republic native is making his second appearance in Acapulco after a 1R exit last season. THIEM MAKES DEBUT: No. 4 seed Dominic Thiem, who captured his fourth career ATP World Tour title in Buenos Aires last Sunday (d. Almagro) and followed with a semi-final in Rio (l. to Pella), is making his debut in Acapulco.

Beginning the day's matches are wild card and No. 2 seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who takes on Britain's Aljaz Bedene. The No. 77 Bedene leads their head-to-head 2-1, but the last contest this season in Miami went to the World No. 17 Bautista Agut. Both men are looking to match their best result here at Winston-Salem. Following on Center Court is No. 6 seed Sam Querrey, who has reached the semi-finals here in three out of four attempts. He takes on Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who has also had success here in the past, reaching the quarter-finals in 2014. The two have met on the courts of Wake Forest twice in their career history, in the second round in 2013 and in the quarter-finals in 2014. Both matches fell in Querrey's favor, though Garcia-Lopez pushed the American to three sets in his quarter-final loss.
